18, Conflicted, Looking For Guidance. - I Will Not Promote

Card image cap

So, basically, I am currently an 18-year-old taking a gap year, and I am extremely conflicted. I have good opportunities in my hands, I'm interested in econ, and I have a paid internship for a prestigious student internship, I'm working on a research paper as a co-author with a Stanford PhD, and I'm generally very busy. BUT. I had this good startup idea. I want to start questioning users to see if it is a viable, profitable idea, but I also understand running a successful business is usually all or nothing. I'm early in my career, and I have no idea what to do. Additionally, I've had two other ideas that someone executed earlier than me, and received millions in funding, so I know I have the capability to make good ideas, the FOMO is killing me. What are your opinions? (My idea is centered around the ai driven innovation boom going on right now, i'm worried either someone will take my idea and execute it before I do, or the time will never be right again.)
